Pension splitting and offsetting

Couples who divorce, or dissolve a Civil Partnership, frequently have more funds invested in their pension than in the home they share. 

However, pensions are a difficult and complex concept, and dealing with them effectively upon divorce or dissolution is of vital importance.

Higher net worth individuals also need to consider the "A day" changes and the impact these provisions may have upon pension benefits post 6 April 2006.
